12/2/19 Prayer For Relief

What the plaintiff in a lawsuit asks of the court — for example, monetary damages, an injunction to make the defendant stop a certain activity, or both. The plaintiff usually makes a “special prayer” for specific relief (for example, a monetary amount to recover for an injury), and then follows with an unspecific “general prayer” to recover any additional amount not specified that a court decides is appropriate.
